Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : Some of those Republicans are going to want to protect defense spending from any cuts.
42% : And what that means to me, Mene, is that a vote to do nothing on social security is not a vote for business as usual.
39% : And President Trump said in a recent video, "Under no circumstances should Republicans vote to cut a single penny from Medicare or Social Security."
36% : And so while I would expect that to be attacked as a cut to social security, I find it pretty hard to imagine that it a raise of the retirement age by 2075 is something that would animate a lot of voters in a negative way.
34% : And also the comments from President Trump and others about not having any of these entitlement programs on the table in that negotiation.
